It's bonkers that they've been working on the Zu for nearly 4 years. The 23 story Wawanesa building was completed faster.

I love that copper cladding. Wish something like that ended up on the aviation museum.

The E-Mart location is for sale. It'll be interesting to see what someone does with that spot considering the adjoining building.

Such a sad story.

I hope the buyers don't attempt to rezone residential. We need more commercial threaded into the fabric of our neighbourhoods. Especially Osborne Village. The City's addiction to commercial arteries fronting seas of residential makes for a dispiriting streetscape.

Is this the lady where it burned down and she was denied and then approved a variance to rebuild same as it was or something?

Her son I believe. I think she might have died.

Right yes same story I was thinking of. The city approved the waiver of the $20,000ish development fees in late Sept 2022 and insurance was supposed to cover the rebuilding of the structure. I wonder what happened for them to abandon rebuilding? Costs likely?

It's really too bad, between the Zu project, and both of Paragon's new buildings there, a lot of people could benefit from a convenience store there.

Do the Paragon buildings have any ground level CRUs?

I think the PPP ones do... maybe we'll see a c-store as a tenant?

The metal siding on the Zu bldg facing Osborne and Stradbrook looks like absolute ass and even the brick doesn’t make it look better. Looks so cheap and shitty.

It looks like they also replaced the Tyndall looking light grey stone with dark grey, roughly the same colour as the brick.
